| - Who doesn't love a bit of lobster added to their favourite dish :)
Lobster Monsters whole menu focuses on the tasty crustacean, either on it's own or added to already popular dishes, with some non-lobster items or some basic seafood options for those who prefer.
The menu will make you drool, and you will pretty much want to try one of everything.
We went on a weeknight, and the place wasn't super busy so we got stellar service and even some (absolutely amazing) bruschetta to start on the house!
After both of us deliberating forever over the menu, and convincing ourselves that our eyes are always bigger than our stomachs, we opted to share a lobster poutine, substituting the gravy with lobster bisque + add bacon (cue drooling), and a lobster grilled cheese with their hand cut chips (now cue heart attack).
Sounding soooo promising we were super excited to eat here, but sadly the food fell a bit short, thus the score of 3. But nothing so bad that it couldn't be easily improved. I still have hope for this place!
The bisque on the poutine was not hot at all so the dish was room temp and the cheese didn't melt. The taste was great, but poutine needs to be hot and gooey! The bread for the grilled cheese was super super thick and super hard and had become that kind of toast that scratches the roof of your mouth every time you bite. It also wasn't hot enough, and even with the overcooked rock bread, the cheese was barely melted, and the lobster portion was a little underwhelming. We left feeling pretty disappointed.
I think there shortcomings are easy fixes, and hopefully over time they improve these small things because their menu really does sound amazing and the service was so great. I will give it another shot in the future and hope for the best!
